Galicia 21: Journal of Contemporary Galician Studies is a peer-reviewed online journal that seeks to provide a critical forum for the discipline of Galician Studies on an international level by publishing innovative theoretical and critical work of the highest quality. The journal promotes the study of so far understudied areas within the discipline, such as Galician visual and digital culture, film, media, popular culture, cultural theory and history, while it encourages the incorporation of critical and theoretical explorations of key concepts for Galician culture such as nation, identity, power, gender and space.

One issue is published each year with all articles either in English or Galician (submissions in either of the written norms for contemporary Galician are welcome). Quotations are kept in the original language (in the case of languages other than Galician or English, an English or Galician translation is also given). The journal publishes five research articles, one feature article written by a guest author, interviews and five academic book reviews.
